Ted Cruz crusades for government accountability in Twitter chat

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz took to Twitter Tuesday morning for a brief chat emphasizing the importance of upholding the U.S. Constitution and abiding by its guidelines to holding elected officials accountable.

Tagging the occasion as a #ConstitutionDay Q&A , Cruz answered questions from Twitter users about the effects of the Affordable Care Act — which Cruz has been outspoken about repealing — on constitutional freedoms and civil liberties.

Many of the questions echoed Cruz’s sentiment about the act, calling into question both President Barack Obama’s and Congress’s leadership and how they are allowed to “circumvent” the Constitution.
